Hedge fund manager and third-party marketing firm Dexion Capital has appointed Rebecca Donaldson, previously head of communications at International Asset Management, as head of marketing and communications.

Donaldson has more than 18 years' experience in marketing communications and education within the asset management sector, including previous positions at UBS and GAM. She will be assisted by Allison Tater, an internal transfer who becomes a marketing associate. Tater was previously in equity research at Bank of America and has more than 15 years of investment experience.

'We are delighted to have been able to attract someone of Rebecca's calibre to Dexion at this important moment in our growth,' says group managing director Ana Haurie. 'Dexion has long been characterised by its innovative response to investor requirements. These latest changes are a clear commitment to the importance of keeping in touch with our investors.'

Dexion Capital was established in 2000 to research, develop and market hedge fund products to an international institutional investor base and has three principal business lines, advisory, exchange-traded funds of hedge funds, and single manager marketing.
